En 1UP personnel 01/01/2000 Jedi Starfighter prend tous les bons morceaux de Starfighter, les pousses de l'avant dans le temps, et arrose quelques épices supplémentaires sur le dessus. Pourquoi, alors, vous êtes sans doute demandé, est le score de celui-ci un point de moins? Eh bien, principalement pour toutes ces raisons mêmes. Il s'agit d'une aide supplémentaire tout à fait adéquat de Starfighter, mais il ne fait pas vraiment plus que cela. Ce que nous sommes tous censés se passionnent pour cette fois, c'est le fait

Jedi Starfighter takes all of the good bits from Starfighter, shoots them forward in time, and sprinkles some additional spiciness on top. Why then, you're no doubt asking, is the score of this one a full point lower? Well, mainly for all those same reasons. It's a perfectly adequate extra helping of Starfighter, but it doesn't really do any more than that.
The thing we're all supposed to get excited about this time is the fact that you can now fiddle around with Force powers. Sounds exciting in theory, right? Well, it would be if it made you feel like you're actually a Jedi and doing all this stuff. As it stands though, it just feels like a bunch of extra, slightly weirder weapons that you have bolted onto your ship. Maybe I'm too much of a Star Wars purist, but I've always thought that the beauty of the whole Force thing is that it's actually quite personal and intimate. It's what Jedi use to mess with the rest of us. Seeing it used from within the cockpit of a spaceship just doesn't give the desired effect.
So, with the unique new feature of the game well and truly shot down, what does that leave? More of the same thing we had in Starfighter, really. An extremely competent game with both space and ground-based missions that prove to be somewhat more challenging than they did last time around.
As before, the whole thing is character-driven, with a number of interwoven stories driving the narrative along in a "nearly Episode II" kind of way. My problem with Star Wars games that don't follow the movies these days is that I can never remember anyone's name. There are far too many apostrophes kicking around for my liking. Ultimately, I just end up describing people in a sort of "that big blue ugly guy" kind of way. Which leads to another fault in the game, namely that if I can't even remember the names of the damn characters, I certainly don't particularly care about them. Another Star Warsian faux pas, since part of the beauty of the Star Wars universe and the star players therein is that you really root for the heroes and despise the bad guys.
This aside, though, it's a perfectly competent game. It has a bunch of stuff to open up (see "Get Neat Stuff") and it doesn't look half bad (although not spectacular). It also offers an array of multiplayer options, including some kick-ass cooperative options, that will keep you and a suitably Star Wars loved-up buddy amused for some time.
